Excellent plugin, works perfect as a layer on top of wordfence or Ithemes security. No problems anymore with attacks from China etc
May 20, 2019
Of most value to me is to be able to block whole countries from attempting to log in to my WordPress site. This works well. The only thing that is not made clear is that even if you block IPs and countries replay attempts are logged but the user receives a 503 Server error as reponse. So don't be surprized if you block a country you still get logged login attempts. It would be good to explain that better as this issue made me think for a moment that blockings were not working.
